Down at the bottom little changed yesterday but Avram Grant, Mick McCarthy and Roberto Mancini will be slightly concerned at the gap that is starting to form at the bottom of the table. Next week will see the first real three pointer of the season at Upton Park and you fear it could be a result that may define the Hammers boss’ future.
In this morning papers there has been a mixed bag of articles ranging from Capello’s plan to partner Carroll and Rooney; Harry talks up the title for Spurs, while Roman Abramovich plans a shake-up at Chelsea.
